Superheroes needed!

Looking for a way to mix up your running routine this weekend, or perhaps a way to bring your kids into the mix?

Do both with the CASA Superhero Run, a superhero-styled chip-timed 5K and Kids 1K with superhero activities, costume contests with great prizes, photobooth to capture your super-style, free food and more! The fun is happening this Sunday, September 19th, 7 am at The Domain.

This fast-growing race is put on by CASA of Travis County, which exists to promote and protect the best interest of children who have been abused or neglected, by training volunteers to advocate for them in courts, in schools and in our community to help them find safe, permanent and loving homes.

Right now, 1 in 4 abused or neglected kids don’t get a CASA volunteer. The CASA Superhero Run raises money so that every child who needs a CASA superhero will have one. Even if you can’t race, there are ways to support this important organization. Just visit Active.com Donations to start your own fundraising page. You can edit it, add your superhero photo, set a goal and share with friends on Facebook, Twitter, email and more! Gifts of $5, $10 and $20 from your friends and family will make all the difference!
